Update: was told I would receive a partial refund, weeks have gone by and nothing. Such a joke. Had the Phillips Zoom teeth whitening done. Paid $400. Made it through 3 of 4 sessions. My teeth were kinda white for a few days and now back to how it was before I had it done. Haven't ate any dark foods, brushing 3 times a day, don't smoke or drink coffee. Really disappointed, wish I wouldn't have wasted the money.

I recently relocated back to my home town of Appleton and chose Elite Dental for my smile care . Kind of went in blind being out of state for 15 years....but my decision was A+. Since I have healthy teeth and simply enjoy a six month checkup, I have minimal time with my doctor . Thankful.,...the majority of my visit is with my hygienist Lisa .....and she rocks !! Professional, polite, friendly......AND....does a exceptional job of cleaning my teeth and also takes the time to explain steps I can take to maintain my smile. ALSO, I can hear other hygienists there (open doors) communicating with their patients and realize everyone gets that same A+ treatment. I'm not big on making online reviews..but this one really deserves it ! Don't want to leave out the front counter ladies !!!! . Excellent job Elite Smiles Dental !!! Glad to be with y'all !

Rating low specifically for this reason: Was a patient there for about three years. Every balance was paid off right away. The last time I went in for a procedure, I had to see a different dentist because my usual one was on vacation. I had tooth remnants left from a previous extraction. First of all, I was under the impression that they were going to fix it and not charge me again as it was something they missed the first time around. Secondly, they generally give you the bill directly after you appointment. When they didn't tell me a balance, I assumed it was because they weren't charging me (as stated above). I never recieved any letters or calls stating I had a balance. I called back a while later because my wisdom teeth were bugging me and was informed that they couldn't see me until my previous balance was paid. When I said I would pay it they said that it was in collections and I would have to call the collection agency (never recieved anything from them either, and they confirmed this). The lady I talked to was very condescending about all of this. After paying the collection I called back to schedule an appointment and was informed that they kick you out as a patient if you have an unpaid balance. I said, "Even if I was never informed of the balance? You can see by my previous statements that if I had known, it would have been paid off right away." The receptionist very rudely replied, "We keep notes and every attempt to contact on file so yes, we did." I could not get copies of the supposed notes from them, but I have not recieved a single notification from them. Note: I keep all of my medical records. Up until this point, I really enjoyed them as a dentist. But the way they handled this situation in combination with the fact that they're very condescending with you if they think you don't have money is reprehensible.
